New Chance for Aurora Even as Brightness Dims: Solar Storm Forecast 08-09-2018
Despite being at solar minimum, Space Weather remains a bit active this week. A small coronal hole is rotating into the Earth-strike zone giving aurora photographers, especially at high latitudes, a good chance for some shots. Also, one of two unnumbered bright regions is rotating out of Earth-view over the next few days so amateur radio propagation is slowly dropping back to poor conditions. However, GPS users continue to enjoy better than normal reception, especially at low latitudes. See details of the coming solar storm, learn why aurora photographers get 3 chances for aurora over the next two weeks, and hear some new information about radiation dose during airline flights while we are in this solar minimum.
